ASKA, a Reprinted Android
The above Metal Eden trailer takes players deep into ASKA’s relentless cycle of battle and evolution, following the core gameplay progression that defines her journey.
It opens with a striking scene - ASKA discovering her own lifeless body and extracting her core. This moment introduces the central premise of the game: ASKA dies on her mission, gets reprinted, and tries again, progressing each time and growing stronger.
